***********************************
THE MOST POWERFUL MAG IN THE WORLD!
***********************************
POWER is quite simply the best disk magazine on the ST scene for a number
of reasons...
For a start, we're just about the only general ST disk magazine still alive
and coming out every month in the ST scene!
We're always first to get reviews on new P.D. As proof, here are just a
few P.D. releases we got reviewed before ANY other magazine in the whole
world including the glossy disk magazines (ST FORMAT etc.)...
MAGIC TOMB - We reviewed as soon as it was finished and got it direct from
the author. The glossy mags didn't get it reviewed until at least 3 months
later!
MOBSTERS CITY - We reviewed this last month and were the first magazine to
do so. At this time of writing, there still isn't a mag that has had it
reviewed yet even though it is one of the hottest games just finished!
FREAKED OUT II - We were the first to get this brilliant sequal reviewed
and it was roughly two months later until the glossy mags got hold of it!
ARMOURED OPERATION - Once again, we got one of the first copies and had it
reviewed straight away. We also offered 5 free copies of the licenceware
game. This was reviewed two or three issues ago and since then has sold by
the lorry load but as far as I know, the glossy mags (or any other mag)
still hasn't had a copy reviewed!
LORD RAMSEY IN THE 25TH CENTURY - We recieved a copy and got it reviewed a
whole month before any other magazine!
HUNCHY - We got BOTH Hunchy games reviewed way before any other mag and it
was only a couple of months later that the glossies only got hold of ONE of
them!
SPOT IT - This hugely spread and popular game was reviewed in POWER before
any of the glossy mags!
We've had a load more P.D. releases reviewed here at POWER before anyother
magazine and they're not little programs which just aren't good enough for
reviewing, just about all of them have been reviewed in the glossy mags and
other disk magazines but only much later after their release.
We have hundreds of contacts and through these, we can get all the latest
releases for reviewing as soon as they come out. We haev even had some
commercial games reviewed before the glossy mags...We even had ZOOL
reviewed before the glossy mags!!!
So you want more about why we're the best disk mag around? Okay then, just
look at what we offer EVERY month...
All your correspondence in the form of a letters column.
We let you sound off your views with Talking Point.
We answer all your technical problems in The Technical Help Corner.
We help you find the program you are looking for in The Program Suggestion
Column.
We publish your short little messages in the Messages column.
We keep you up-to-date with the latest news with The News Column.
We get your STOS problems sorted out in the STOS Help Corner.
Even things such as advertising. We get loads of people advertising in
POWER. Unlike with T.V. or radio, you can just flick past these if you
don't want to read them so they are no hassle but you benefit from them
too. POWER is the first place that many come to advertise so you know
exactly what is on offer and what is happening.
We also have loads of informative articles every month helping you with
things from buying a second hand car to the best programming tips.
POWER offers a content which appeals to all. There is something for
everyone.
We have loads of articles which have made it to POWER first too. Examples
include the big virus scare which made POWER get a few virus articles out,
the glossy mags tagged along behind us. Also, we've been providing up-to-
date information and exclusive articles on the new ATARI JAGUAR for at
least 5 months now. We've given information on the console, the games and
even all the technical information and we've compared the competition. A
copy of POWER was then sent to all the magazines and the following month,
an article very similar to our one was published in one of the leading
magazines. Now, only in the last few months have the glossy mags started
writing about the glossy mags but we've given ALL the information that the
glossy mags have given plus more way before them!
We also did the same with the Falcon whilst also giving the Falcon
specifications and as much information as possible.
In this very issue, we have the first disk magazine review of the new ATARI
console, THE JAGUAR!
We have had loads of exlusive P.D. (and we have loads more to come!) and
always produce the latest and best P.D. on disks when there's enough space.
We've had loads of exclusive games including the popular RINGS OF POWER and
we've even had an exlcusive Depacker in the form of the DUNGEON DEPACKER.
If you still need a reason to want to read POWER then you must be mad.
We're now one of the leading disk magazines and have outlived all others of
our type. We have a radership which is now one of the fastest growing now
that we are Shareware and not only do we have hndreds of readers supporting
us but also programmers, programming groups, licenceware groups, P.D.L.
owners and other disk magazine and paper magazine writers. We're the best
disk mag about so spread the word, spread your copies or POWER and stick
with the leading disk magazine!
